How to check if my AIX server has Dual HBA's?

Thanks I need to know if my server has dual HBA and if multipath has been configured. For Multipath I ran lspath and it shows all drives and if MPIO is configured for that drive.

Thanks for any input.

How to check if my AIX server has Dual HBA's?

You can type this command

lsdev -Cc adapter

And you will see a list of devices

Then you can type lscfg -vl fcsX for every hba that has in the list.

To see the kind of multipath on your disks type lsdev -Cc disk

I hope this helps you

You could look at the description of the "lsdev" output as well. Mine say "Dual Port"

Code:

hostname:/:# lsdev -Cc adapter | grep fcs
fcs0    Available 01-00 8Gb PCI Express Dual Port FC Adapter (df1000d222122b15)
fcs1    Available 01-01 8Gb PCI Express Dual Port FC Adapter (df1000d222122b16)
hostname:/:#

You can also see that only the last "T#" is different in the "Hardware Location Code" as shown by the "lscfg" command indicating that they are both located in the same physical location which also points to a dual port adapter.:

Code:

hostname:/:# lscfg -vl fcs0 | grep "Hardware Location Code"
        Hardware Location Code......U55AA.001.XXXX2X5-P1-C4-T1
hostname:/:# lscfg -vl fcs1 | grep "Hardware Location Code"
        Hardware Location Code......U55AA.001.XXXX2X5-P1-C4-T2
hostname:/:#
